Churchill Fellow 2023
Fellowship
Addressing the prevalence of suicide ideation from women of diaspora Punjabi, Sikh communities and the lack of targeted therapies in the UK for intervention and prevention within this community.
This page showcases my experiences with suicidology research work through various organisations and individuals addressing ideation, prevention, intervention and bereavement.
Losing my mother to suicide during early childhood has significantly impacted my life. As an adult, I have greatly benefitted by using a range of holistic therapies as part of selfcare and, in turn offer wellbeing services to others.
Astrology is different to any other form of divinatory art because we can deal with timelines. We can give people hope and that's perhaps the most important thing of all - if you can give someone hope, something to aspire to, there's light at the end of the tunnel. You will get through this and when you do, you will thrive again because it is all cyclical.

For young people having these language-based interactions, someone to talk to them about their life, where they feel they are able to express their challenges in as basic a way as possible, without great articulation, can only be a positive thing.
